Hollin Hall
St. Catherine's church was built in the 1880s by Stephen Shaw, a local architect, in a plain late Perpendicular style. The tower of an earlier church, built about 1620, still stands nearby: the rest of the building was demolished in 1887 owing to structural defects.
A mile to the north of the village, Hollin Hall comprises a 14th-century pele tower with crowstepped gable attached to later buildings.[1]
